As expected, it still came as a surprise.
The makeshift rain shelter collapsed under the onslaught of the torrential downpour, sending a deluge of palm leaves crashing down with the rainwater. Fortunately, just as the rain began pouring through the rupture, Bi Fang leaped out in time.
Wearing a simple raincoat crafted from green palm leaves, Bi Fang kept the enormous conical hat on his head.
In less than half an hour, Bi Fang had successfully made a raincoat and a conical hat, which looked pretty convincing.
The colors were just a bit unusual, not the common yellow-brown but a pure green instead. Water flowed down the fresh palm leaves like little columns, dripping onto the straw sandals below.
"Actually, making a temporary raincoat isn't that difficult," said Bi Fang, lifting the brim of his hat to see the path ahead, water sliding off the brim and dripping to the ground along its contours.
